Why would you leave because of this though?
I'm just not interested in living in the US under a second Trump presidency. Such a presidency would run against everything I stand for and against everything I want for myself, my family, and my kids.
I hear you but that's a bit dramatic. Imagine if everybody who disagreed with the presidential vote just ran away..
Trump is openly spouting fascist talking points and his followers are cheering him on. This is not a normal election.
And if everybody who disagree fled the country, they'd be handing it over on a silver platter..
And do you think that would not embolden other countries to follow suite?
It's fucking stupid and a cowards way to get pissy and run away. And to disrupt your lives because of some made up shit you think is going to happen? You're just as delusional as magats..
Trump is an insane narcissist and he's been talking like a fascist for a long time. And he has a lot of supporters who are willing to go to extremes to defend him. To me, he's a symptom of an extremely unhealthy society, and I think a lot of people would leave under a second Trump presidency if they could.
I can, so I will if that happens.
Yeah and the only logical solution you can think of is to run away? You're all so out of touch with reality..
I have the option and I'll choose to move out if Trump comes back. Absolutely.
But please do enlighten us about your suggestions.
Idk don't uplift your life and run away? Stay and keep fighting? If you bail when things get bad and want to come back after they get better, then just stay wherever you go.
Well, if Trump comes back somehow, I'll keep voting against anything he stands for from overseas. That will be my contribution. Not going to live in that mess, though.
Ridiculous
You're welcome to stay. Knock yourself out.
I fully intend to act like an adult, yes.
Shrug
From the outside the whole thing seemed to be an absolute circus act. People getting increasingly polarised, constant (pretty much daily) news about something fucking stupid he's either said, done or something disgusting one of his cronies had been involved in.
Glad it is amusing for you.
Amusing? No. Dismay is more I'd say. It's reverberated across the pond here and our politicians have been doing very similar stuff and getting away with it.
